Name and Role at BNI: HIjab Maryam – PYP Year 2 Homeroom Teacher. 

Why BNI: I believe that it is very important to have a child in an environment that is consistent and secure. Children need to be able to form secure attachments not only with their parents but also their teachers/caregivers. Simply being in a loving and nurturing environment helps students form these types of attachments.  I want the children to feel as comfortable and secure as they would in their own homes. And BNI has given me an opportunity to achieve this. 

Certifications:  I have attended in-house workshops and training sessions focusing on the aspect of Primary Years including a cross-department workshop on Differentiation and Assessment.

My Experience:  I have done Bachelors in Arts and have taught early years for fourteen years before shifting my focus to primary years. 

Fun Fact: I have a sweet tooth and cannot ever say no to dark chocolate.
